Middleton Erik Carter.
Age: 23.
Gender: Male.
Nickname(s): Mid, Mids. ( Anything along that line tbh )
Fear(s): Wax figurines, dolls, most paintings of people, heights, airplanes, elevators and escalators.
He's just generally afraid of things that stare blankly, it kind of just freaks him out, it started when his parents got one of those paintings of Christ with the crown of thorns, it ended up scaring him so much that he made them get rid of it. He once watched a "I Survived" about an escalator that killed a bunch of people and now he's horrified of them, elevators have a possibility of crashing and that scares him. Heights was kind of influenced by him getting trapped in a treehouse once and now it makes him sort of panicky.
Personality: Middleton is an extremely kind individual with a charisma that influences everything he does, there's just something about him that's almost eccentric. Though at times he can come off as a bit quiet, he recovers with sharp humor and a quick wit. Easy to get along with and generally warm, he's got an air about him that seems nearly too friendly. He's the type of guy that holds doors even when he's already halfway into the store and the type of guy who tries to help the elderly cross the street. Some may think his kindness is forced but it's a genuine, sweet quality. He seems excited about most things, intrigued by the possibility of adventure and ready to jump into the unknown, even if that has a possibility of biting him. His kindness is only matched by his eagerness to achieve, he's got a penchant for trying to win things which can come off as a bit standoffish but all in all, he's just a good guy.
History: He grew up with a great imagination and his childhood was filled with Summers full of honeysuckle and playing games with the neighborhood kids. He was always kind of an odd kid, collecting bugs and trying to keep them alive in little plastic containers and setting frogs loose in the house which his mother never appreciated but he grew up generally normal. There wasn't much complaint from his small home, a mother who cared for her kids and a father who worked harder than anything at a job for the electric company. Middleton became interested in writing around the time he was fifteen and from there on, he launched his career as a journalist, his side career as a barista in a cafe. That's kind of where he is now.
Skills:
+ He has a general knowledge electronics and wiring from his father.
+ He's good at coaxing animals.
+ He has a knowledge of insects and some small mammals.
+ He's kind of good at riddles.
+ He could probably hold his own in a fight but he'd not be the best.
+ He's good at first aid.
Other: He still lives with dear old mom and dad, he's been plotting out a novel for awhile but he can never seem to gather the right ideas for it and it's frustrating him beyond belief. He has a girlfriend named Mandy and he's been on the fritz about engaging her.
